  1. With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

    The biggest obstacle to making power rings seems to be having a central power battery. It's possible to make them without one, sure, but it's a pain in the ass because then you have to go find a sufficiently powerful source of the appropriate emotion and you get one ring/battery combo out of...

    While empathic sense isn't a perfect lie detector, OL is probably already 90% sure Shayera's story is true. Probably he'll spring her on the grounds that she was unwillingly exposed to a mind-altering technology and can't be held responsible for her actions. There's a lot of reasons Orion...

    Shayera may have been out of her mind with rage, but she's still an experienced superhero. She's got those fighting instincts. Krandor Vat, sure he knows how to fight, but he's been in politics instead of the front lines for years now,

    It’s not even a Thanagarian scheme. It’s one guy who had access to “call this line for a power ring” who decided to die taking a shot at OL, This is vey explicit. We saw it word of god in the narrative. Who specifically should he make an example of? If he brands everyone in the Council of...

    You'll notice that Paragon has become a lot more scrupulous about trying to ensure that even enemies can go on to an afterlife of some sort. He hasn't drawn any hard lines, but he generally seems to reserve assimilation for either situations where there's a precessing necessity, subsapient...

    But that is also Paul's message! "You have to form an anti-Thanagar coalition and protect yourselves, because the Lanterns can't/won't". He has repeatedly specifically refused to promise to protect them from Thanagar and urged them to form a coalition to protect themselves.

    Kill Paul. That was the plan. It didn't work and maybe it never had a high chance of working, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    Important to remember that the former High Mor made a point of making this his personal action, not that of "Thanagar". The rest of the government can honestly say all they knew is that he said he was doing "something" and then left. I like how part of the reason this fight is giving Paul such...

    I suspect it's the Reach. Responding to a line that hasn't been used in decades and having sufficient bureaucracy that the person on the other end can go to look up what this is all about in short order... that's an extremely organized and well staffed group. That's not a cult, or even...

    Yeah, I don't think even the telepathic link alternative is going to happen for the sthuounoo. I guess Paul is going to tell the polarans, "Suck it up, buttercup." They'll have to figure out a way to make it work.

    There was a story told about it in a Sandman comic, yes. I think even in comic book land, you don't have to take stories like that to be completely literal and factual. In the world of myths and dreams, Rao prevented Krypton from being saved, and in the land of physics it was a natural solar...

    Well it's, uh, a start I guess. These cameloid folks... er I guess I can call them the Fthaymons... don't seem too confident. This alliance needs some central ride-or-die species or world that can at least make a plausible threat to the Thanagarians. Not necessarily win on their own, but make...

    Besides, Hyathis already has plenty of personal power. The trouble is that she's already very busy and can handle only so many things at once. She needs another powerful person on the job. Kind of in the same way that Dox is their most powerful Orange Lantern, barring only OL calling on the...

    I always thought Harkness probably has more tech skills than he likes to show off. Less "super science" and more "super design", an intuitive sense for how to integrate all sorts of stuff into his boomerangs without throwing off the balance. There's probably ways to parlay that into something...

    As I recall, Paul has a harder time mustering up the desire to help people who have caused their own problems, so this little checklist showing that it was an unforeseeable accident probably helped him respond at full power. Another part of this might be that Thanagar's militarism is...

    Of course she didn't threaten him, did she? OL asked Shayera what she was hoping to accomplish, and she said essentially, "I wanted to yell at you at let you know I'm mad." She sort of came close with "if I ever catch you off earth" but it seems like the cutoff was more because she thought...

    Important to remember the context that the four rulers of the Antares system originally appeared in DC comics in a story where Kanjar Ro forces the Justice League to fight her (and his other rivals in Antares) by holding the earth hostage. The League is so unimpressed by the four warmongering...

    I'm not sure how she's "got" Vulcan. She's got a chance to negotiate with Vulcan and try to make him a better offer (which is very possible since she's got far more experience with magic), but Vulcan is still an independent agent. The Thanagarians could simply approach him again and make a...

    So i have no idea how magic works in the Fallout universe, but does Krono not have any issues with the whole “lacking a soul” thing that other Pauls have? Or did something happen that fixed that? Or does Fallout magic not care about souls?

    While OL isn't "siding with" Hyanthis, I think he's somewhat more sympathetic to her than the other involved parties. I notice the peace treaty doesn't try to reverse her conquest of the other three species of Antares. And while she might have won this battle if it was fought , the conquest of...
